School of Theatre, Television, and Film
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students, I would like to welcome you to the School of Theatre, Television, and Film at San Diego State University. Since its creation in 2002, the School has dedicated itself to the cross-disciplinary education of our students. In a world where traditional boundaries are often blurred and new forms of entertainment seem to emerge on a daily basis, we feel it is our responsibility to prepare our students for success no matter what career path they might choose. To that end, we have created a curriculum that builds on the shared body of knowledge and historical traditions that link theatre, film, and television. From that strong interdisciplinary foundation, students then select courses focused on the creative, technical, and analytical skills necessary for their specific area of study. Since practical application is so important to our programs, theoretical discussions are balanced by hands-on experiences. Our active production and performance programs are the living laboratories of our curriculum and all students are required to participate in these valuable experiences. Such events enrich not only our students’ education but also the cultural life of the campus and the greater San Diego region.
For more than four decades, the nationally recognized SDSU Television and Film Department has provided superior training in all areas of television and film production for the future professional. State-of-the-art equipment, outstanding internship opportunities, an impressive faculty with ties to the industry, dramatic location filming sites, and proximity to the Los Angeles/Hollywood industry epicenter make the department a prime choice for the serious student.
From screenwriting to post production, students can select their areas of specialization. TFM offers a creative, collaborative environment in which directing students direct their own films and select peers, specializing in cinematography, design, editing, and other production components, for their production teams. The alliance with the Theatre Department offers cross-arts collaborations and an acting talent pool for emerging filmmakers, further enhancing the department's goal: fostering technical and artistic excellence and sending students from campus to industry ready to work.
Collectively, our student body produces over 40 films per semester, making our school one of the most productive on the West coast. We hope you will attend our student film festivals that are held twice a year, occuring at the end of each semester. Faculty, staff, students, friends, and the public join in for a night of film festival fun! From dramas to documentaries, animations to comedies - we have it all! Our students have won awards from various film festivals including: Temecula, Jay Sanders, CSU Media Arts, San Diego Women Film Festival, Best Fest, and Palm Springs Festival of Shorts, just to name a few!
Whether you want to be a director, writer, cinematographer, or editor, this hands-on degree will give you the skills to make it in the real world. Of course, help is always available. The TFM faculty and staff are here to answer your questions and to help make your educational experience a rewarding one.
